Grey weather on the Mainline today. I grieve the crossing over of Charles Handy, the philosopher and business thinker.

What he called (w twinkle in his blue eyes) a “management guru…or charlatan(!)”.

A better human.
May he inspire you too toward your purpose.

For some reason, very few people these days will stand up and say it, but: the US federal bureaucracy is one of the great wonders of the world, staffed with incredibly diligent people who do their jobs well and care deeply.

Trump's destruction of the federal apparaus was a historic crime.
The Purged
Donald Trump’s destruction of the civil service is a tragedy not just for the roughly 300,000 workers who have been discarded, but for an entire nation.

My quote of the day

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.

American here: a couple of points. One is that there’s a bit fewer than 340 million Americans. We can’t all be refugees, there’s nowhere for us to go. So we’ve got to stay here and work this political kidney stone out. /1

This is my 30th year as a journalist.

But I still continue to be shocked daily at the extent to which these same 'news'papers revel in wilful misinformation in order to relentlessly promote the ideology/interests of their senior editors and owners.

An utter disregard and contempt for their readers

Today's Minnesotan of the day is the anonymous commuter who followed ICE for over an hour, around Minneapolis, out of Minneapolis, to the furthest-flung parts of the metro. "I'm pretty mad at these guys and got nothing better to do today. I'll go until I run out of gas" she said halfway through

Two community members stand on the street corner of Central Ave and 18th St, watching over a local business in 5° temps with a wind chill of -15°. They are patrolling the area, keeping an eye out for ICE activity, doing what they can to protect their immigrant neighbors.

Today would be a great day for CNAS, CSIS, Brookings, Atlantic Council, RAND, IDA, CNA, & every veterans’ advocacy group to say an attack on NATO over Greenland would be a crime under US and international law and it would shatter American military capacity for generations.

They won’t say a word.

It's not that hard folks. Putin ordered Trump to destroy the U.S. from the inside. And that is precisely what he is doing.

I’m hearing people freak about a military deployment to Minneapolis but it doesn’t change much. It’s scarier but the same. We still outnumber them 100 to 1. They have more guns than us either way. They can shoot us either way. They’ll probably be easier to find and follow if they’re in a tank.

Four GOP Senators.

At most four Repubs in the House.

Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.
I can't repeat this enough.
I've said this before and I'll say it again.
It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.
